On & On & On

I still remember that night, It was the fourth of July

It's still engraved in my mind and I'm not surprised

Gang wars, no guns, hand to hand

You're black. I'm white, he's purple

But I still don't understand

I'm going to be alright. I'm going to be okay

Everything is going to be fine

Back off. I want to be alone

I want to think it out and

I'm thinking that I want to go home

Look who's laughing now. I'll pull it off somehow

As I passed her by, I could see her cry

And I'll never forget the look that was in her eye

And the music you know it played on and on and on

So won't somebody tap her on the shoulder tell her life goes on

Three years, two months, one week, four days

I'm always counting down because there ain't no easier way

Trust me you know that I tried

And if I said it was easy then you know that I told a lie

I'm going to be alright. I'm going to be just fine

One down, five billion to go. Am I the next in line

And do I really want to know?

Look who's laughing now. I'll pull it off somehow

As I passed her by, I could see her cry

And I'll never forget the look that was in her eye

And the music you know it played on and on and on

So won't somebody tap her on the shoulder tell her life goes on
